First Fish Cat float tube
#22
[#0000FF]Just measured the foam seat on my "ready to rumble" tube in my garage. It is a Fat Cat. Fish Cat is too small for we of the "sturdy" persuasion. Width...seam to seam across the seat...19". Length...from back of foam to front edge of seat...18 3/4". Foam blocks are inserted as in the pictures..."anti taco". And I use no shims or rigidity panels in the seat pocket.

Glad you appreciate my creativity. I have always been one to photo document about everything new I try...just in case some newbie tuber starts asking silly questions. Lemme know if you need any help with tools, procedures, etc. Basically, for cutting and shaping the PVC plastic chairs you can use any type of saw...hacksaw, cutoff tool, etc. Then use a coarse grinding disc for the rough smoothing and finish with a rotary disk sander on a drill or Dremel.

It ain't rocket science but there's no need to make it any harder than necessary. Here's a writeup that might help.
